The Avocado Archives is a compilation album of some of the coolest music I wrote in 2023 for various events around the web. This is the fourth yearly installment of this series, and as you have perhaps come to expect, it's jam-packed with all manner of chiptunes, MIDIs, tracker modules, glitchscapes, and more... plus a bunch of killer collabs with wonderful people! I hope you find plenty to enjoy on here!

Read below for more info about the tracks.
